Welcome to the season finale of season one! In our final instalment, we have Michael Mohammad Ahmad. Mohammed is an award winning Arab-Australian author who has written The Tribe and The Lebs. He is also the founder of Sweatshop, a literacy based organisation aimed at empowering Indigenous and culturally and linguistically diverse communities. Mohammed chats with Olivia about the importance of representation, how writing is inherently phantasmagorical, and why flared jeans are the best kind of jeans.Books mentioned:The Lebs by Michael Mohammed AhmadThe Tribe by Michael Mohammed AhmadSweatshop Women by SweatshopThe Prophet By Kahlil GibranThe Autobiography of Malcolm X by Alex Haley and Malcolm XThe Qur’an
